Is there anyone out there who can provide me with the correct pronunciation
of Fermented Black Bean Paste as spoken in Cantonese and also in Mandarin ?

Phonetic English, if possible or as close as you can get. TIA

First of all, you cannot just use phonetic English for the exact
pronunciation of Chinese, because the latter has tones - 4 in Mandarin
and 9 in Cantonese, which if you get wrong would mean something
different, could be positively hilarious or entirely rude.

What do you want to do? go to the store and buy them? I can find
pictures to help you, like http://www.8g123.com/UserDocument/07...917_115453.jpg

However, "fermented black bean paste" is ambiguous. Do you mean
fermented black beans - these are separate beans, black in colour
fermented black bean sauce - the above beans, chopped up and made into
a sauce
femented bean paste - dark yellow in colour with visible beans
fermented mashed bean paste - brown in colour and uniform in texture
(this is what the picture shows)
